> Europe is absolutely at the cutting edge of technology. Cutting edge of technology is industry creating or industry changing technologies. The US has dominated these since the 80s, but arguably even before that with railways, and after all the atom bomb was invented by immigrants in the US. The web, social media, smartphones. And now space industries and generative AI. And why is this? Lots of network effects, but also places like the EU have it completely backwards in terms of policy. Policy doesn’t create innovation. It might support it, but real innovation comes from freedom and letting innovative people roam free. The US government is doing it best to stop this but still hasn’t managed it luckily. I just don’t see how europe is at the cutting edge of anything, any companies they lead their field are downstream of leading US industries. I don’t know if it’s possible to recreate what the US does. Probably not. But what EU bureaucrats try and do basically fails every time.
